I see the following: $ rpm -qp --requires /opt/instsl/upstream/5x/i386/SL/yum-utils-1.0.4-3.el5.noarch.rpm /usr/bin/python python >= 2.4 rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 yum >= 3.0.1-5 yum < 3.1.0-0 so it wants a yum version of at least 3.0.1-5 and less than 3.1.0-0. > I tried to download the source package of yum-utils > to find out whether it was a typo but can't find a matching source > (can only get yum-utils-1.0.4-1.sl5.src.rpm). > > Am I doing something wrong? Well yum-utils-1.0.4-2.sl5.src.rpm also exists in the 5rolling/SRPMS/SL/ tree, but I'd guess (since all the changelog entries for yum-utils-1.0.4-3.el5.noarch.rpm are from TUV) that the srpm just got missed being copied into the tree... rpm -qp 5rolling/i386/SL/yum-utils-1.0.4-3.el5.noarch.rpm --changelog shows no SL changes. Possibly more confusingly the yum-installonlyn package shows that it was built from yum-utils-1.0.4-2.sl5.src.rpm $ rpm -qi yum-installonlyn Name : yum-installonlyn Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 1.0.4 Vendor: Scientific Linux Release : 2.sl5 Build Date: Wed Jan 2 19:24:14 2008 Install Date: Wed Jan 16 17:28:49 2008 Build Host: norob.fnal.gov Group : System Environment/Base Source RPM: yum-utils-1.0.4-2.sl5.src.rpm Size : 7591 License: GPL Signature : DSA/SHA1, Wed Jan 2 19:25:04 2008, Key ID da6ad00882fd17b2 URL : http://linux.duke.edu/yum/download/yum-utils/ Summary : plugin which only leaves n 'kernel' packages installed Description : A plugin for yum which only leaves n 'kernel' packages installed instead of infinitely doing installonly But that src.rpm *wasn't* used to make the yum-utils package since TUV's yum-utils src.rpm was used instead. I'm now more confused than before I started looking. Of course my trees arn't currently in synch 'cos I managed to break something here while attempting to add 51 to the set of trees we rsync. > Thanks Troy & Connie for this great (and hard) work.
